The Star-Crossed Sisters of Tuscany

Overall I really liked most of the book. Well written with good character development.

I took a star off because of Lucy’s language.
Once she found love and got over her anger it
improved.

I know her anger caused it but I really don’t enjoy f bombs and other curse words. Her irreverence bordered on disgusting.

I guess I am old fashioned.

The descriptions of Italy and the food was excellent.

As an avid reader, I think I’ve read a LOT of really good books. This one though…it easily ranks in my top five favorites of all time!! The storylines and character development kept me enthralled from the very first chapter. Having traveled to Italy, Ms. Nelson Spielman’s vivid and accurate descriptions of Italy transported me right back to the beautiful country. While the story wraps up very nicely with some interesting twists and turns along the way, I can’t help but feel this family would make for an epic novel series. I just purchased three more copies to give as gifts. Put this book on your “must read” list!

Just finished. I’m gushing. Loved the premise of the book. A truly delightful story of family and lost love only to be found again. Makes me want to go to Italy (a bucket list item for sure!). The author does a fabulous job of describing the sights and sounds of a land so foreign to Americans. From Bensonhurst to Venice, the story of Emilia, Lucy and Poppy is heartwarming. I highly recommend!

Wow… this book was so well written and in grave details I personally felt myself transported to Italy! It captured the more realistic mental thought process in the characters Emilia/Poppy, it was very relatable and real. From the family gritty dynamics, the souls of the character, parts filled with pure joy between the characters, exploring new places, the heartbreak… everything! I enjoyed it. I can’t say enough good things about the entirety of this novel. I will recommend to anyone I know if they are looking for a book to lose themselves in. I read it in 2 days!

I enjoyed this book immensely! Took me a couple of chapters to get into it, but after that I was hooked. Just what I needed right now…something light and funny but with a few unexpected twists.
